Damn that looks really good. Should attract more of the better players from around the country.

Is it only nine holes?

Is it only nine holes?

Yes. But a lot of different tee boxes.

Bet we'll see Saban, CKD and others practice on that all the time.

Saw where it may already be paying dividends on the recruiting front. Signed a kid from Scotland that has just won some type of major event over there.

That's so awesome to hear. It'd be really nice if the men and women's program established their dominance again.

NR Nick Gross

On Nick Gross... here's the info from rolltide.com from when he signed (in November he was listed as the 8th ranked golfer in the AJGA rankings, but he's currently unranked)... no clue why that is... maybe something to do with qualifying and having to play in a certain number of AJGA sanctioned tournaments? @TerryP
